Sinus Disease.
The sinuses are cavities or cha-
bin
ers in the head that communicate
with the nasal cavities. The most
important of them is the antrum,
which is situated in the upper jaw.
They are lined with mucous mem-
brane, like all the cavities of the
body that communicate with the
external air, and often suffer from
infections and inflammations, which
find their way to them through the
nose. The antrum, moreover, is
sometimes infected by a decaying
tooth.
One of the most painful complica-
tions of influenza is the spreading
of inflammation into a sinus. When
the inflammation is so serious that
pus forms, there will be severe suf-
fering until the pus discharges,
either naturally, or by means of
surgical intervention. Sometimes
there is a discharge, but not enough
to permit the tissues to heal com-
pletely. In that case, the patient,
long after the acute attack of
grippe is past, suffers from a con-
stant slight discharge, accompan-
ied with aches and pains, and gen-
erally impaired health.
If, during a severe cold in the
head, Or an attack of grippe, there
is pain in one side of the face, or
a constant discharge from only one
nostril, it is virtually certain that
,there is some inflammation in a
sinus. If the frontal sinus instead
of the antrum is involved, the pain
will be felt over the eyes, or over

Selected Recipes.
Green Corn Balis.—Beat a whip-
ped egg, two teaspoons melted but-
ter and one of white sugar and
salt into two cups green corn cut
from the cob and put with mixture
enough our to enable you to handle
it and form it into balls. Roll
these in raw egg and then in flour
and fry in deep fat.
Salmon Bisque.—An attractive
and palatable soup is made by add-
ing three pints of milk to two
tablespoonfuls of butter and two of
flour. This `•makes a white sauce.
Season it with salt and pepper, and
add a can of the best salmon, which
has been rubbed through a sieve
to free it from bones and bits of
skin. Serve with croutons.
Small Peas. Pour one ounce of
butter over one quart of small
peas. Add a head of lettuce, an
onion, a little parsley, and salt or
sugar according to taste. Cover
the pan and cook over a moderate
fire until the peas are tender. Then
remove the onion, parsley, and let-
tuce. Mix well together the yolks
of four eggs, and three teaspoon-
fuls of cream, and pour -the mix-
ture on the peas. Serve immedi-
ately.
Scalloped Egg Plant.—Peel off
the skin, cut the egg plant into dice
and parboil for twenty minutes.
Drain well, put into a buttered

fine crumbs, dotting bits of butter
upon each layer, sprinkling with

A septic condition of any part of
the head is, of course, a dangerous
`thing, for it is always possible that
it may spread to adjacent parts—
to the eyes, perhaps, or even to the
brain. Do not think of home treat-

Health Hints.
The immunity of snickers from
manyinfectious diseases has long
been known to medical men. And
smoke of many kinds has been used
successfully in the treatment of
troubles of the throat and chest.
Eating too quickly is a common
fault among children who are hun-
gry, and the habit should be check-
ed from the first, as indigestion
will result from "bolting" the food,
and when once the seeds of this mis-
erable ailment are sown there :is
scarcely ever a complete cure.
Person's who are subject to sore
throat should, in warm weather,
begin the practice of sponging the
throat and chest, or the entire
body, in cold water every morning,
and continue the practice through-
out the year, thereby increasing the
resisting, power of this part of the
body.
MAKING JOHNNY OBEY.
Modern Child Has Pretty Good
Grip on -Situation.
"I'd like to prescribe for some
mothers that bring their youngsters
here," says a physician. "The
modern youngster that isn't spoiled
is the conspicuous exception.
"For instance — mother brings
Johnny in.
" `Johnny,' I say, 'open your
mouth and let me see your tongue.'
"'I don't wanna,' says Johnny.
Mother sighs and looks helpless.
" 'I just can't make him mind,'
she tells me.
" 'Madame,' says I, `Would you
mind stepping into the next room
until I finish with Johnny 1'
"Mother hesitates, looks uneasy,
then goes. I close the door. Then
I plant myself in front of Johnny
and eye him.
`Johnny,' I say again, 'open
your mouth.'
"And Johnny, ninety-nine times
in a hundred, opens his mouth and
doesn't give me a bit of trouble—
until his mother comes back into
the room.
"Looks to me as if the modern

berries and a box of currants. • Put
the currants through a sieve with

and another cup of sugar, mashing
the berries very slightly. The fill-
ing may Abe used either plain or
with a little whipped cream added;.
cover the top of the cake with

Keep a few pieces of charcoal in
the refrigerator. They will absorb
the odors of food.
If a cloth is dampened with strong
tea, it -will serve as an excellent

at the facts and uses them with
great effect. In his passages with
the wily Dr. Pugsley and other vet-
erans of debate, Arthur Meighen
didn't come off second best. The
young lawyer hasa brilliant way of
going indignantly at the specious
argument and boring a hole
through it with the forefinger of
one hand, the other keeping the
place in his book of reference the

Arthur Meighen was born in 1876

MUSIC WILL HEAL DISEASE
SCIENTISTS CANNOT DENY ITS
INFLUENCE.
Doctors Recognize the • Action of
]Harmonies on Minds of
Ma -nines.
. The oldest legends of antiquity
tell, , us what a mysterious power
the men of those days sometimes
attributed to music. The songs of
Orpheus and the sound of his lyre
even, it is said, attracted wild
beasts, which came crawling up to
listen at his feet, vanquished. •The
all-powerful beauty of the song of
this hero even softened the hearts
of the pitiless divinities of Hades.
M. Nitella, in an article on this
subject published in Medicine, re-
calls how, to the sound of Am-
phion's lyre, the, stones became
animated and came to place them-
selves one upon another to build
the City of Thebes.
It is difficult to take these pretty
legends literally ; it is perhaps
more rational to believe Old Homer
when he'says that when Ulysses had
been'wounded by a wild boar, mu-
sic made him forget the pain. That
is the first case on record in which
a remedy is sought in this art.
The Greeks claimed that Dscula-
pius was a son ofApollo. Though
it is no longer possible to believe,
in accordance with this legend,
that Medicine is the daughter of
Music, at least it is permissible to
think, says M. Nitello, that they
are two sisters, the elder of which
sometimes gives aid to the other.
Reacts on Lunacy.
But to leave this distant period
and came down to Ceisi, it is seen
that this doctor recognizes already
the action of music on the minds of
lunatics, Then- this same -art is
dicated by various author., as a
remedy for the most diverse ail-
ments. Galion recommends it for
snake bites ; Athena, Theophras-
tus and Aulu Gale believe in its
happy influence on sciatica and
gout; Theocritus and Males see in
it a means of contending against
pest. -
It is especially in the treatment
of nervous diseases that music has
given the best results. Cases of
hysteria and epilepsy seem some-
times to have been cured by con-
certs: The ' attack, treated at the
start, ceased and subsequently oc-
curred more rarely and ended by
not appearing any more.
For a long time past musicother-
any has been employed in a ration-
al manner. It has been used in the
treatment of madmen. Esquirel
organized concerts at Cherearton,
but he was not very well satisfied
with the results obtained. In 1840
Leuret, at Bicetre, renewed the
same attempt, but also without
much success. Since this period at-
tempts have often been made to di-
vert madmen in this.way. It would
appear that in the treatment of
madness music has not given the
good results expected. But if the
experiment has not been -a success
it may be because music is felt in a
different manner by every human
being and the more so must that be
the case with those who are dis-
eased.
Must Touch Patient.
The music chosen must touch the
patient without, however, the effect
being too strong. • It is also desir-
able that it should be "en rapport"
with the troubles of which the pa-
tient complains. If his circulation
is bad, music of a somewhat violent
character will have an excellent ef-
fect on him. If, on the other hand,
he is suffering from a stomach ail
